Rat Catcher

Rat Catcher is a piece of software designed to determine whether or not a piece
of content has been copied
from a source on the Internet. It can be used by an online
magazine, for example, to determine whether or not a submission
from a writer is their own original work. It can also be used
for content creators to find other sites which may be using or
copying their content without their permission.

Rat Catcher offers sophisticated processing that is simply
not offered in other products, such as measuring the similarity
of documents based upon the meaning of the content, not
just the words themselves! In addition, Rat Catcher can check to see
if the authors have similar styles. Planned for future development
is an in-depth similarity match in which a thesaurus is checked for
"creative rewordings" of documents. When you add it up,
Rat Catcher goes far beyond the basic text matching that other
"anti-plagiarism" applications offer, and is a true
"content protection solution".

Event Log Manager

Event Log Manager is a simple, free utility that allows you to easily create and delete
logs and sources in the Windows Event Log, as well as write new entries to the event
logs. This is a great tool for developers who need to manage Event Log sources and logs
without wanting to add the code to their application's startup or have to keep running
the application installer. The write event functionality is helpful for systems administrators,
particularly when testing Event Log monitoring software. Event Log Manager is distributed
under the MIT License, and includes the full C# source code.Download Event Log Manager

File Shotgun

Once in a blue moon, you'll need to spread a bunch of files
across a number of directories. File Shotgun handles this with
ease. It lets you specify a numbering scheme for the
sub-directories of the destination and a prefix/suffix for them
(so they can have names like "Images 1" or "1 Pictures"). It
also allows you to control what happens when a duplicate file
already exists in the destination - you can overwrite all
existing files with the new one, have the new file get a unique
name, or just have it do nothing. File Shotgun is distributed
under the MIT License, and includes the full C# source code.Download File Shotgun

Blogger Post Stripper

The Blogger Post Stripper is another simple, free utility from Titanium Crowbar. This one
allows you to enter the URL of a post on Blogger (and Blogspot), and it will produce a nicely stripped version
of the post. It removes all styling (except text alignment) and class details. This makes the
output suitble for directly pasting into another blog system or CMS. It also extracts the post's
title and the original posting date (including UTC offset) so that if the content destination
allows them, you can add them in as well. It also has a convenient button to copy each piece of
data to the clipboard. Blogger Post Stripper is distributed under the MIT Licene, and includes
the full C# source code.Download Blogger Post Stripper

Name That Nerd

Our third Windows Phone 7 application is a simple quiz game,
"Name That Nerd". Right now, most of the questions are about
famous programmers, but we will be adding more over time.

Local Crime Rate

Titanium Crowbar's second Windows Phone 7 application is
called "Local Crime Rate" and it is dead simple to use. Just
pick a state and city and the application will show you a
variety of crime statistics for the area. Upcoming versions will
feature the ability get your current location via GPS, nicer
display, and additional rankings and charts. This is a paid app
(currently $0.99), and the source code is not available at this
time to the public.

The source code is
available under the MIT License. It was a learning
application for us and we would be happy if you used it as a
learning application for yourself. It does not reflect
Silverlight or WP7 best practices. If you want to know how
to write good Silverlight or WP7 applications, we suggest that
you do some research and not simply copy this application! But
if you want to learn how to write a quick 'n dirty application
that accesses a REST Web service in Silverlight or WP7, this is
a good place to see how that is done.
